Bradley Cooper is reportedly in talks to take on a significant role in Warner Bros.' "Ocean's 11" prequel. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker is being considered to write, direct, and star in the new project, which is a week after director Lee Isaac Chung departed due to creative differences.

Warner Bros. is eager to keep the production on schedule, with hopes to commence filming before the close of the current year.
Cooper's directorial track record includes critically acclaimed films like "A Star Is Born" and "Maestro," both of which garnered numerous Oscar nominations.
